Casting spells

From the eyes of the other party, Zhang Cheng saw the burning desire, smiled indifferently, raised the old leather container in his hand again and asked, "Now, tell me, what is it?"

"As you can see, it's a water bladder, but the material used is a bit special." Boruen replied with the corners of his mouth pursed.

"Material? Do you mean the leather that exudes a strong smell of death?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.

"That's right! I believe you should have heard of Greek mythology. Hades, the king of the underworld, has a fifty-headed hound named Cerberus.

But later this terrible monster was killed in the great war in ancient times, and died near the source of the River Styx. It is said that the terrible power of death polluted the nearby area, and anyone who got close, even a dead soul, would was devoured mercilessly.

And from its corpse, many descendants with three heads were born, that is, modern underworld hounds domesticated by the parliament.

This water sac is a powerful ancient wizard who risked his life to cut a piece of leather from the body of Cerberus. It has the power to control the water of the River Styx.

As for me, I also discovered it by chance and exchanged it from an ordinary collector..."

Chapter 400 An Enemy More Powerful than Ever

"Cerberus leather? I see..." Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

According to legend, this giant mountain-like beast often wanders near the Styx River, killing any living people who try to break into the world of the dead, or the dead who escape from the world of the dead.

In short, this most famous dog is not afraid of the erosion of the water of the Styx, even jumping in to take a bath is no problem, so it is not too unusual that its skin can hold and control the water of the Styx.

It's just that he didn't understand that since the wizard who made this thing had the power to approach Cerberus' corpse, he must have been a very powerful existence at that time, but why was there no record in the history of the underground world?

You must know that although the Parliament was officially established after the Black Death ravaged Europe, it was not a mess before. Wizards with a long history once established a very loose alliance, responsible for dealing with the threats of hell and heaven, and at the same time responsible for recording the ancient times The progress of the underground world after the war, to ensure that some precious information and hole cards will not be lost.

However, it can be seen from the darkness of the Middle Ages that hangs over human beings that this organization is really not doing very well.

As a selfish demon, Boruen obviously doesn't care about human history, unless these histories hide secrets that can make him powerful.

After a brief pause, he stared at the limbs that were constantly regenerating, and boasted triumphantly: "You know, I just exchanged it from that terminally ill collector at the price of prolonging my life for one year. This treasure. With its power, I have successfully killed many dangerous enemies. Human beings are really complicated creatures. Sometimes they are astute as hell, and sometimes they are extremely stupid."

"But it belongs to me now, doesn't it?" Zhang Cheng reminded with a half-smile.

"Of course! You are a strong man, and the strong dominate everything. This is the most basic common sense in hell. For the strong, we have always been in awe from the bottom of our hearts. What's more, there is a huge legion behind you to support you .Maybe——we can cooperate with each other and benefit each other, what do you think?" Boluen hinted meaningfully.

To him, betrayal and betrayal were as simple as eating and drinking.

In the past thousand years, many of the same kind have failed and died in his carefully planned schemes and tricks.

Not only will the big demons not stop this, but they will encourage them in a disguised form, so that they can select the best men to serve themselves in this way.

"Hehe, you are too impatient, my friend. Before talking about this topic, answer me first, who secretly opened the back door for you, and who is eager to seize the fragmented world?" Zhang Cheng skipped the boring temptation and started straight ask a question.

As time passed by, he understood that he had to figure out the true face of the man behind the scenes, and then use the little time left to do some preparations.

"John, he is one of the members of the Supreme Council of Europe, and he is also a powerful necromancer. Oh, by the way, he used another name hundreds of years ago, you must be familiar with it." Bolu En didn't hesitate, and quickly gave an answer.

"Oh? What is it?" Zhang Cheng showed an interested expression.

Since he is concerned about the movements of the underground world in North America, he doesn't know much about the European Parliament, and he has no idea who this so-called John is.

Boruen opened his mouth and spoke a name very slowly.

"Faust!"

"Faust?!" Zhang Cheng's pupils shrank suddenly.

If there is anyone in this world who has the deepest understanding of the power of death among mortals other than the gods of death and underworld in legends, it must be this necromancer named Faust.

The German writer Goethe even created the famous poetic drama "Faust" based on him, which was used to show the ideological and spiritual pursuit of Europeans after the Renaissance.

But the real Faust is not the fool who was seduced by the demon lord, but passed the almost cruel trial at the age of 13 and became a genius necromancer.

But he was not satisfied with the knowledge recorded in the books. At the age of 15, he began to travel to all corners of the world with the Age of Discovery. Whether it was the ancient and mysterious rituals of Egyptian sacrifices or the techniques of African Voodoo for manipulating corpses, he was impressed by him. One who does not fall behind learns and comes back.

By learning and drawing on the knowledge related to death, he deciphered the secret of death when he was less than 25 years old, and obtained eternal life through an unknown method.

At the age of 30, he was even able to wake up tens of millions of dead bodies in the cemetery at once in a very short time and completely control them.

You must know that to eliminate the magic plague, which can only create uncontrollable cheating things, only the Lich King who holds the artifact-Frostmourne and wears the helmet of domination can do this.

The resurrection of the dead is a very serious and delicate work.

Most necromancers need to go through a series of tedious preparations before carefully resurrecting one or two. Even the necromancers can only resurrect a dozen or twenty at most, and no more can be controlled.

Zhang Cheng once used the power of magic plague in the world of Song of Ice and Fire to transform hundreds of thousands of people from the living into the undead, and he knows very well how difficult it is to control undead creatures.

Don't think that low-level undead are very easy to control without thinking.

On the contrary, it is precisely because they do not have independent thinking that it is more difficult to make them obey the orders of the creator. In many cases, the innate hatred of living people is enough to drive the necromancer crazy.

Of course, this is not the scariest thing!

The most frightening thing about Faust is that he was so arrogant that he led an army of undead to raid the heart of Catholicism - the Vatican!

Not only were countless bishops with powerful holy power slaughtered, but even the last Angel Legion stationed there was completely annihilated, and no one survived.

Some people say that Faust died in that battle, and some say that he was afraid of being hunted down by heaven, so he changed his name and hid. In short, he disappeared not long after this terrifying attack, never to be seen again. show up.

Although Zhang Cheng had known for a long time that the trial given by the parchment would not be too easy, he never expected that the enemy he would face in the end would be so powerful and dangerous.

No matter whether Faust is really as terrible as in the legend, there is no doubt that he is a very important enemy for him right now.

The most important thing is that he has no idea what the opponent's hole cards are and what kind of spellcasting ability he will have.

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his head to look at the pale yellow eyes of the hell demon, and said with a smile: "Dear Boruen, if you don't mind, can you describe to me the Faust you know? Remember, try to Be as detailed as possible, don't let go of even a little detail..."

Chapter 4 and One Allegiance

"Interesting, a lunatic who is a mix of smart, powerful, persistent, conceited, arrogant, and radical..."

After listening to Bo Luen's description of Faust, oh, no, now he has changed his name to John, Zhang Cheng showed an interested expression on his face.

The reason is simple. He can feel that the other party is similar to his current state to some extent, especially when exploring the mysteries related to death, he often loses self-control and falls into a state of near madness.

But what puzzled him was, why did this talented and dangerous guy hide his true identity?

What kind of ulterior secret is hidden behind it?

What is the purpose of capturing the Fragmented World?

Do those members of the European Supreme Council know that he is the one who single-handedly leveled the "heaven on earth" plan that took nearly 2000 years to establish in heaven?

One question after another kept reverberating in Zhang Cheng's mind, but no matter what, the other party was the biggest enemy he had to face to seize the Fragmented World.

As for Bo Luen, who had provided the information, he had long since hid in some corner to recuperate, at least he would not show his face again until the end of this terrifying killing game.
